Приєднався 11 бер 2013
Colourful Heritage is the first and largest online multimedia archive chronicling the amazing and inspirational stories of Scotland’s early generation of Muslim and South Asian migrants.

Colourful Heritage are celebrating their 10 year anniversary in 2020! Many exciting discoveries have been made but there is still a lot more to capture and preserve. Now it’s over to you to capture the next decade of stories.

Reporting Scotland - Isobel Harling's Funeral
The Colourful Heritage team attended the funeral service of Centenarian Isobel Harling BEM who passed away on St Andrews Day this year. She looked after the Force K6 graves in Kingussie Cemetery for over 70 years. Also known as ‘Wee Mac’ by intelligence services during WW2, she was fondly remembered by her friends, family and her community as she was laid to rest opposite the graves of the Force K6 soldiers in Kingussie New Cemetery, whom she so fondly called ‘Her Boys’.
She was a Highland gem and an inspirational legend that left a wonderful legacy of selfless care and a wonderful example of humanity. She will be dearly missed and although already featured on the Force K6 Kingussie memorial, she will also be remembered on our upcoming BIA memorial.
Her story features in our school’s resource pack unit 2 and her story of kindness is always highlighted in any talks given to school pupils.
She will always be remembered.

Started in 2010, the Colourful Heritage is the first charitable initiative in #Scotland aiming to preserve and celebrate the contributions of the early #SouthAsian and #Muslim communities and migrants to Scotland.
It has created the largest online repository of oral stories, established a dedicated archive and launched a unique exhibition showcasing the communities journey. Explore these amazing resources and be inspired by the positive contributions this community have made to Scotland having turned up with just a few pennies in their pocket and starting their working life as pedlars.

This channel deserves more views. Most people in the UK don't know how loyal & brave the Sikhs were in many British wars, including the Boer War, WW1, & WW2. Four VCs from just one regiment speaks volumes. Nothing like it in modern British history.

Beware hooomsaaa mark 2. Not for Scotland.
There was a beautiful photo vlog with stories of life of Abdul Rashid Minhas in Scotland that one of his kids had made, sadly the page is not here anymore.
Being a British born citizen of Indo Mauritian Heritage, this story made me immensely proud. We Indians, along with other members of the British Empire fought alongside our English, Scottish, Irish and Welsh family to free the world from Nazi tyranny. Unfortunately our story is mostly unknown and unheard. I hope that this will change. I suggest that the BBC start to tell our tales of unwavering loyalty and bravery in the face of adversity for the freedom of all. ❤️🇬🇧🇲🇺🇮🇳
Awesome! Role model and others should take on board the challenges to succeed.

God Bless you Mrs Malik. You are an incredible woman and a pioneer. Your story is amazing and heart-warming. Being born and bred in Pollokshields I can relate to your story and I know your close very well - played in it as a wee boy in the 60's. Maybe I'd seen you then. Thank you so much for sharing this and thank you to Colourful Heritage for all the great work you are doing. Keep it up.
